Bob was longtime active member of Grace Lutheran Church in Milwaukee. Bob retired from the Internal Revenue Service after over 10 years of service. He served his country as a member of the United States Navy. Bob was a cat person and very much loved his late cat Sadie. He enjoyed traveling with his friends and was a volunteer usher for the Pabst Theater. Bob was a terrific storyteller and inevitably had you laughing by the end of his tale.
